A Visit From Our Snobbish Relatives
The lunch dishes were still in the sink
We were having cans of beer to drink
Then came the sound we did abhor
The opening of an automobile door
“Just peek and see who’s out there.
For any visitors, I...

He got shot and became a better man.

Can’t go snow-racin’, ‘cuz ya’ sold my snowmobile

The Birdwatcher
Once, I was a purple bird
A red bird, a blue bird
A yellow bird, a green bird
Through all those birds
I realized the words
Were simply a display of
My Grandma’s affections
She watched me each morning
As I sat on...

Wish Book
I browsed thro' an old Sears-Roebuck Catalogue the other day.
The necessaries shown in its pages would be antiquities today.
It illustrated harness, horse shoes, things to tend horse's withers,
And displayed everything from anvils to fifty-one string...

in the year 1857,
when Joseph Gayetty

The Dive
Experiment, the worth of kings,
no bonafide adventuring
not impinge, glory, noticing,
the trial of "over" ~ SING, BUT SING!
And over, 'til the mode be right,
that last decision, still up tight.

The Game
THE GAME
We would gather slowly
“toss” the bat, choose sides,
use the “least battered” ball,
the only bat we had.
The girls played too,
chosen because they
could play….often before
some of us boys. We
knew they were better
so it wasn’t taken...

My Childhood Christmas
The folded corners and wrinkled pages
of catalogs that were tattered and ripped
From the first of October until late in December
we drooled,
we fawned,
we lusted,
we swooned and giggled
